SAN FRANCISCO (ID) 
This new giant was a sensation of our 1939 planting. 
It is particularly outstanding, not only because of its 
12 to 15 inch blooms and beautiful shrimp pink color, 
but because of its well proportioned and thrifty plant 
growth which average 6 to 8 feet in height. Foliage is 
always bright and clean, with long, stiff stems which 
hold the huge blooms upright facing. Heartily recom¬ 
mended as one of the BEST.Plant, $2.50; Root, $7.50
